FDA Begins Looking into E-Cigarettes

WASHINGTON, DC -- The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, says it is looking at electronic cigarettes.
At issue is whether the cigarettes are better for smokers.
Users of the new devices are getting around smoking bans, because the e-cigarettes give off a vapor, not smoke.
But the FDA is now getting involved, saying the e-cigarettes it tested had carcinogens.
Some states have passed measures to restrict the sale of the cigarettes.
